One Guard

Chapter 749: Resist

Tony Allen's defense prevented Brewer from getting any chance. The Mavericks' defensive ability on the wings is completely unmatched by the Rockets. Harden had no way to play the ball because Tony Allen did not leave Brewer a chance to completely connect the ball.

Howard is the second-lowest offensive player in the league in the low post this season, and Harden doesn't want that guy to waste opportunities in the low post. After all, Gobert has just let Howard experience the taste of hot pot twice.

Harden decided to play alone. At least Wade's current defense is not considered the top in the league. As long as you are not the league's top defensive expert, it will be very difficult to contain Harden.

Harden took a step back and continued his luck. The momentum is about to begin! But suddenly, Harden's rhythm changes were equally rich, even reminding Wade of his experience when defending Yiyang last season.

Just when Wade couldn't figure it out, Harden suddenly stopped changing hands and then accelerated. As soon as Wade reacted, Harden was already leaning on him to break through.

I have to admit that Harden's body is quite strong for the shooting guard position. Wade feels that it is really difficult for him to resist Harden. Times are really progressing. These young people are almost beating all the old guys to death.

Howard hugged Gobert behind him, and Harden's eyes widened. Without any hesitation, the bearded man leaned directly on Wade for a layup. But Harden made a fatal mistake, which is also the reason why he cannot become a pure number one position.

When Harden broke through Wade, Yiyang chased after the two. At this time, Terry was completely open, but Harden, who was already determined to attack, could not see these openings. For a player like James Harden, he can only see his teammates when he wants to pass the ball.

Harden thought he would definitely score this goal, but as soon as he raised the basketball, a hand stretched out from behind him and suddenly slapped the basketball away!

Harden knew who it was without looking back. No one except Yiyang could do it!

The Rockets' offense failed. Although Gobert is a big center, he was never ambiguous when it was time to lower his waist. After a scramble, Gobert became the final winner, holding up the basketball and making a long pass from the backcourt.

Terry knew Yiyang's habits, he knew Yiyang too well. Many of Yiyang's current tricks were taught to him by Terry. But the huge gap in ability between Terry and Yiyang has reached the point where Terry knows what Yiyang is going to do, but still can't stop it.

The basketball was still flying high above Terry's head. Terry knew that with his current bounce, it was impossible to catch the basketball, but Yiyang could.

Dallas' No. 1 guard caught the basketball at a height that made Terry's jaw drop. After landing, Yiyang was already at the basket. Terry rushed over, but Yiyang took the initiative to give Terry a physical confrontation, pushed Terry away, and then easily put the ball in the basket.

Terry rubbed his ribs. That brat Yiyang really didn't recognize his relatives on the field. Yes, just because he can even block his wife's shots on the basketball court, there is nothing he can't do.

After Yiyang scored, the Mavericks had officially led the Rockets by 15 points. Just halfway through the second quarter, the Rockets were already 15 points behind. And for such a situation, the Rockets have no good way to recover.

Ever since Carlisle sent Iguodala on in the eighth minute of the first quarter, the situation has changed dramatically. With Yiyang and Iguodala taking turns, the Mavericks' offense and defense have always been at a very high level.

Sure enough, in the seventh minute of the second quarter, Iguodala played again. As soon as he came on the court, Ariza, who had finally scored five points in a row, was stunned.

Then, after receiving a pass from Yiyang, he hit two consecutive three-pointers, widening the point difference to 19 points again. The Rockets were always on the verge of death. Perhaps even McHale didn't expect that the Mavericks' lineup depth was so outstanding.

Iguodala made 5 of 6 shots in the first half.

Scored 16 points, leaving everyone grinning from ear to ear. Yiyang had 15 points and 6 assists. The Rockets' best performer was Josh, who scored 12 points, while Harden and Howard only scored 7 points each. The Rockets made only 3 of 10 three-pointers in the first half, which shows how much pressure the Mavericks' defense put on them.

During the regular season, the Mavericks relied on defense to defeat the Rockets. In the playoffs, the Mavericks strengthened their offense while maintaining excellent defense. For the first time, McHale felt despair. The Rockets had tried their best but still couldn't win the game.

"Iguodala is a smart player. He knows when to exert force. He can paddle in the regular season without having to do everything. Iguodala was once the leader of the 76ers in the post-Iverson era. He has been the boss of the team and has a good mentality. He does not care about ball rights and statistics. The Mavericks have enough excellent players and a deep lineup. In the regular season, he is not required to charge too much. But in the postseason It's time for him to exert his strength, and Iguodala will show no mercy!" During this intermission, the commentators rarely praised Yiyang, but instead praised Iguodala.

Iguodala's outstanding performance in the first half of the game was even more dazzling than Yiyang's.

"What else can I say? Andre finally stopped pretending to be dead. Before we knew it, the Mavericks had another superstar!"

Trailing by 19 points at halftime, although the gap was huge, everyone on the Rockets really didn't give up. After all, they overturned the series 3-1. With 19 points at halftime, it is not impossible to come back again.

Harden was the first to stand up and respond. He only scored 7 points in the first half of the game. In the third quarter, he scored 5 goals in a row on Wade! McHale raised his hands and cheered Harden's wonderful performance off the court, seeming to have forgotten that he had benched Harden in the previous round of the series. Harden's wave of offense narrowed the point difference to 8 points in one fell swoop. At this time, Carlisle paused in time and arranged a simple change of positions, allowing Yiyang to follow Harden and Wade to keep an eye on Terry.

A simple change of position quickly made Harden lose his temper. Harden was indeed able to use his weight to crush Yiyang and get to the basket, but even if he got to the basket, he wouldn't get much of a shot.

Harden was very unwilling. He clearly said in front of the camera that the Houstonians were coming to take away the victory. As a result, the Mavericks locked up the victory so well that he couldn't touch it at all.

Where's Howard? This guy seemed to have disappeared today. Low post singles were the means by which Howard relied on to survive. But when the things he relies on for survival become inefficient, it shows how embarrassing Howard's position is. The only place where he can contribute now is on the defensive end.

Harden misfired, the "hairband gang" didn't start, Howard was like a transparent man... Naturally, such a Rocket cannot defeat the legendary Mavericks.

After chasing the point difference to 8 points, the Rockets no longer saw any hope. Iguodala and Yiyang joined forces and used an 11-0 climax to take away the game and the Rockets' desire to win.

110 to 92, in Dallas, no one except the Mavericks can create a miracle. Yiyang had 28 points and 11 assists, and Iguodala had 25 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. These two guys join forces and ruin any chance of a miracle happening.

After the game, facing the reporters' cameras, James Harden seemed to have lost the ferocity he had after finishing off the Clippers the day before yesterday. This game made Harden clearly realize what the gap is.

But if Harden could have known in advance that the Western Conference would still have a long time to resist, he would probably become even more desperate... (https:)
